The old delpster never fails to come through. While all of his books are swell, he shows the ever increasing focus and honing culmanating in each new publication. He is a poetic force to be reckoned with, from Over The Graves Of Horses right through the present. Heck, even his unpublished works like the deadman poems beat most modern writers. His works are full of compelling images and sincere emotions. If you're looking for top-notch/non-pretentious/utterly beautiful poems and insightful/intelligent prose and essays, then grab The Last Good Water, and his other three books while you're at it. Go on, do it.

Oh dear,
I meant to say that Delp's book was indeed Stupendorific, but I unfortunatly wrote stupedorific which doesn't begin to cover the stupendorifancy of Delp's book. So allow me to make the correction to this unfortunate understatment.

I'm always amazed when I read Delp's work because of the way he makes seemingly uninteresting topics move, the way he makes me completely jealous and the way he reminds me of why I love words.
